Abstract
The chloromethyl group (—CH<sub>2</sub>Cl) attached to a normal hydrocarbon chain gives rise to two characteristic Raman bands near 660 and 730 cm<sup>−1</sup> The band at 660 cm<sup>−1</sup>, which is very intense, is assigned to a stretching mode of the C-Cl linkage when the chlorine atom is <i>trans</i> to a hydrogen atom. The less intense peak at 730 cm<sup>−1</sup> is assigned to the same mode of the rotational isomer with the chlorine atom <i>trans</i> to a carbon atom. These assignments are consistent with those reported in infrared studies. In contrast to almost equal intensities for both bands in the infrared, the band at 660 cm<sup>−1</sup> proved to be the strongest by far in Raman spectra.
